hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are rachel cunliffe france ba ns gatherings from city am and miatta fahnbulleh of more than 1,000 people, from the new economics foundation, in order to try and and former labour adviser. contain the virus. many of tomorrow's front here, the prime minister has met victims pages are already in. of flooding, announces a doubling in flood defences funding, the independent leads on the rise of coronavirus cases in italy, and defends not turning up saying ‘deaths soar as 16 when bewdely was under water. million people are put it's all too easy for a prime minister to come to a place on lockdown‘. in the middle of an emergency. it is not so easy for the emergency services because what they have 00:00:24,082 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 to do is then breakoff. the telegraph calls italy's handling of the virus a ‘farce‘ as it says dozens of flights from infected areas were allowed to land in britain. the guardian agrees and calls the situation ‘chaos‘ as thousands try to flee the worst—affected areas in the north of the country. tens of thousands of british tourists have had their holiday plans disrupted by the quarantine — reports the times. also focusing on italy is the the financial times which describes the ‘dramatic action‘ taken by the country to contain the spread of the virus. as italy goes into lockdown, the prime minister here urges people to ‘play their part‘ in tackling the virus —

that's according to city am. the daily mail reports on the third person in the uk to die after contracting coronavirus — the man, who was in his 60s, had recently returned from italy. the metro looks at a different angle of coronavirus and makes reference to the stock—piling taking place here in the uk — as ‘panic buyers fight for toilet roll‘. an overarching theme coming through on the front pages. miatta, we will start with the guardian. a good picture of a man's temperature being checked atjuventus stadium before a game against inter milan that was played behind closed doors but they are claiming italy is in chaos. the italian government have taken this extraordinary active quarantining i6 million people in order to stop the delay of the virus. there was panic

and people were trying to flee the area to get away from the quarantining. it is incredibly hard for any government. the chinese was able to do this but they have the infrastructure to be able to contain people in the way that a lot of democratic countries, we just don't happen. so it is quite an extraordinary thing the government was trying to do. and naturally, people were worried, they were scared. they was misinformation at hand and so the guardian says it was chaotic and the fact that people we re chaotic and the fact that people were able to travel notjust in italy but people have been able to get onto flights and flight to the uk, it is problematic. they are trying to respond but not nearly as effectively. goes to show the huge challenge being posed by coronavirus because you have a population that is worried governments trying to play and there is a lot of unknowns.

everyone is trying to do what they think is safest for them what happens in italy is because the news was leaked, you got more people trying to flee the quarantining that might not have travelled so you may have ended up with people spreading it who would have stayed in the same place was not a really dramatic quote from the mayor of one of the southern italy italian regions, saying that, do not bring the virus here. you are carrying the virus into the lungs of your parents. the idea that people who are fully —— fleeing for their own sake —— safety are inadvertently helping to create panic and spread it even further. we are saying according to some people, italy hasn't done well. also the queue —— uk foreign office faced a backlash over its advice to travellers. to be fair, they have come out today and said, don't travel unless you absolutely need to

do northern italy but it is the advice for people coming into the country. the fact that there were no checks at uk airports and people we re checks at uk airports and people were not given advice on what they should do and it is only quite late in the day that people are now being told to self quarantining for 14 days. so it feels chaotic but that is because everyone is trying to catch up to this and governments are having to take measures that we don't ordinarily see in normal times and so are not quite up to speed. holiday chaos as italy closes cities. thousands of people have their holiday plans thrown into disarray. people were my -- may say it is not important particularly when you have an outbreak like this but it is important. we have seen the prices of flights dropping quite dramatically and that is because people are not travelling on the weather for work or business. that

will have a knock—on effect for various companies. also the change in advice to self isolate if you come back for one of these regions, not if you have symptoms, regardless, self isolate for two weeks. that is playing it safe but there are a huge number of people who will not have had it and won't be affected and who will then not be going into work. we want to keep a population safe but equally, the more we do, the more changes there are to live, the more knock—on effect to the economy. as you don't wa nt effect to the economy. as you don't want to overreact either. miatta, there is range of loot points showing how many angles there are on this story. one of course of britain being warned that thousands of intensive care beds could be needed and the pressure on the nhs coming to bear. this will be a huge test for the nhs, already under masses amounts of pressure. going into the

winter is already a difficult time and the nhs is going to have to respond in ways it hasn't had to. the government, to be fair, has said they will make all of the resources available but when you have had a service under pressure already, it will start to bite. you have these moments of crisis and it is notjust the beds, it is the number of staff. we have huge shortages. stories that people are going to have to come out of retirement to ensure they have enough medical professionals to deal with this if and when it gets to its peak. i think it will be a big test on the nhs. thankfully, we do have a national health service free at the point of use. you can imagine other countries that have privatised health systems where people will be facing this but will not have the middle care care that they desperately need. it will be a huge, huge test for the nhs. look at what is happening in america where if you

don't have health insurance, a coronavirus test costs $3000. the ones who have service facing jobs don't have the ability to have time off work and are put in positions where they can pass it onto many, many more people. they mentioned the budget coming out on wednesday. rishi sunak promising whatever is required to protect workers and companies from the impact. quite a big promise he had to make there. 0ffering businesses delayed payments on their tax bills so because if people aren't going to work, businesses will lose money but we do not know what the long—term economic effects of this are so having a budget and saying there —— what is available, we don't have a sense. while we are on the times, we got tucked away in the middle of that

story and coronavirus. interesting, number ten unit will fight fake news. i guess this is to stop the disinformation going on. absolutely. there is worried that hostile states might use this to create panic because this is the worst possible thing. panic is contagious and start bringing everything down. to be fair, think about the images of the prime minister flanked by his two scientists, the chief medical officer and yeah, there was a sense that the evidence and knowledge, information, the that was a thing that was ruling the way the government was responding to this. and so they want to keep that based on evidence rather than people just making assumptions. everyone is an expert on coronavirus suddenly so you go online and... it is a dangerous place to be at the moment! completely! palm heads and that has to be based on what we know and the facts at this stage. there is another side. social media platforms

like facebook and google are having a real challenge because we have known for years that fake news is an issue and no—one really cared that much and now there is this new word infodemic because up you have all sorts of conspiracy theories going around. some saying blame it on bill gates saying this magic potion will give you immunity from coronavirus. the kind of thing we have seen all the time and become accustomed to and when you suddenly have millions of people panicking, the social media platforms do not have a way to deal with it and i think one of the unintended impacts of this might be that after this, you will see governments taking a much stronger line on fake news on the internet because you can see when something like this happens, theyjust don't have a way to deal with it. miatta, the daily mail has the uk angle, third virus victim, reporting sadly that a man in his 60s has died in manchester. completely tragic. the

third case but also the number of confirmed cases also spiking over the weekend. i think all eyes, all the weekend. i think all eyes, all the headlines are on italy but increasingly all eyes will be turning to home in the uk government because certainly we are in the containment stage but i imagine within the next 1.5 weeks. if, like italy, the car —— the cases a spike like in italy, they will be moving to the delay stage was up in germany and france, they are, cancelling all public events. our our government is going to do the same here? will schools shutdown, will people be asked to work from home? huge disruption to people '5 lives and huge measurements that governments like ours have not had to take in re ce nt like ours have not had to take in recent times. it is going to be interesting. city am has the headline lockdown. this is malan station as trains are cancelled but a lot about travel and the fact that

we will see disruption. a picture of the empties train station. for all of the harshness of how the quarantine was enacted, keeping 60 million people in the same place if you don't have the infrastructure is a huge thing. we saw a lot of flights cancelled to china and asia and we are now seeing airlines suspending all flights to malan and venice, other parts of italy. that will have knock—on effects, to, partly because you have people that are stranded and partly because of this pressure it puts on the airline industry which has incredibly small margins. two airlines have gone out of business already, one being flybe and you think about that on supply chains, tourism, there was a reason that the federal reserve last week cut interest rates because that is generally what they do when economies are looking a bit shaky. we could be heading into a global slowdown and it is not clear what government tools we have to deal with that at the might —— moment

because we don't know what the knock—on effect will be. because we don't know what the knock-on effect will be. tesco announced it is rationing. people are stocking up on the contagion is building was not there something about going into a shop where somebody —— people seek pastor, toilet roll, tins, disappear. people think crikey, i should probably be buying stuff myself. everyone does it and it makes it worse. a lot of the supermarkets are stepping in and rationing the amount of wood that people can buy. not least because if people can buy. not least because if people are hoarding, they will be people are hoarding, they will be people who are generally vulnerable and who generally can't get out who won't have access to these things. again, calm heads in all of this and i think it is right that the supermarkets have stepped in to say actually, we will expose —— impose a bit of rationing. while we are on a

calm moment, we will park coronavirus and move onto the daily telegraph. they lead on coronavirus but they are looking at wednesday as the chancellor pledges as they say billions to ensure high—speed internet. our paper gets an overwhelming amount of things about the budget. this year, hardly anything. they want to talk about business effect impacted by coronavirus but it is a big event for rishi sunak who has only been in thejob forfour weeks. it for rishi sunak who has only been in the job for four weeks. it will not be the giant budget that the government had hoped for because it has been overshadowed by this crisis. the telegraph splashing back splashing on broadband and 4g connectivity levelling up the country in terms of digital infrastructure which is a real key priority of the government. but the other interesting thing is it looks like they will be spending a bit more day today which means possibly spending, even breaking the fiscal

rules. fiscal responsibility, you don't spend more than you have but already, before we even got to coronavirus, they were thinking about how they could relax at an increase in spending. if you are on top of that and say yes, we will inject more money into the health service and ensure that people who self isolate continue to get paid and we will have help for businesses to make sure they don't close down, they were concerns in the tory party about where that money will come from. people will be looking for good news and something uplifting, that the government had this under control. the chancellor is had to refocus budget and i think we will see increased spending in order to deal with coronavirus but it will be a budget that marks the departure from austerity. that is what the party have been desperate to do in both rhetoric terms and in real terms. the big question is whether the day

today expenses for our nurses and teachers, will they increase
